Lateshia goes off on Glen after Glen tells her he has quit his job.

The latest “Belle Collective” continues with Lateshia reacting to Glen telling her he quit his job. She’s in tears after receiving the news as they’re out looking at a property she wanted to purchase. Part of the reason why Lateshia is angry with Glen is due to a scary diagnosis from her doctor. They found a mass in her breast. Lateshia screams to Glen that she has to have a mammogram. This news shocks him.

Meanwhile, Tambra is out with Demond and their newborn London. It’s the first time they’ve been out since London’s birth, and Tambra is nervous about having London out in public. Fortunately, the ice cream shop they’re in is empty. Tambra’s a first-time mom, and she’s very protective of her daughter. While eating ice cream, Tamara tells Demond about the fish fry. Tambra mentions she didn’t speak to Marie as she’s still angry with Marie regarding speaking to her alleged abuser last season. Demond encourages Tambra to express her displeasure with Marie sooner rather than later. This way, he feels Tambra can move past the drama.

JJ refuses to allow SoGucci to speak to Selena to “protect his energy.”

Next, Latrice is at the baby shower for Selena’s daughter. They immediately notice JJ didn’t show up to the baby shower. Selena joins them to talk about JJ not being in attendance. She’s happy that JJ’s father, stepmother, and nieces are present.

When the event ends, Selena talks to her daughters. Star, who is having the baby, says she expected JJ not to show up. Sunjai says the issue isn’t with JJ; it’s with SoGucci.

Speaking of JJ, he’s at home with SoGucci. They talk about not showing up to the baby shower, and JJ’s adamant about not being around Selena, calling her “bad energy.” Meanwhile, SoGucci says she needs to talk with Selena and Star. In her green screen, SoGucci mentions that despite the order, her attorney said she could speak to Selena if she wanted to.

However, JJ is adamant about SoGucci not speaking with Selena. He doesn’t want Selena around him.

Lateshia’s event leads to SoGucci walking out and Latrice arguing with Marie.

In the final scene, Lateshia has her event with all the ladies together. Selena is the last one to show up. When she walks in, SoGucci leaves with Aikisha. Selena says she didn’t even recognize SoGucci, as it’s the first time since court they’ve been in the same place. Lateshia runs after SoGucci and pleads with her to stay. SoGucci decides to stay.

Antoinette is also there, and she explains why she left the show. She mentions that the drama wasn’t good for her brand and that their actions tore down their businesses. Tambra says that their trust must be rebuilt for the collective to be united. But that triggers Marie, which leads to Latrice and Marie arguing.

The scene ends with Marie threatening to leave and Lateshia yelling at Latrice and Marie about staying together and working on the collective.

  1. Lateisha kept her Mammogram results away from Glen and Glen held onto telling her he quit his job…now make it make sense. They’re still playing games with each other.
    JJis gonna keep staying away from his daughters where they will stop questioning whether he’s going to show up. And they need to blame their Father and leave SoGucci out of it.

  2. Leteashia and Glenn both make decisions like they are single. She bought land and stuff without telling him, he quit his job without telling her. Off topic someone needs to dress her, her clothes are always to small.
    JJ is to old for all the dramatics. He can support his daughters without having a relationship with Selena. I know it’s easier for the girls to blame SoGucci, than to accept that JJ is the one making the decisions. Marie is just a bitter betty. She passes licks but can’t take one.

  3. I think the situation with his daughters could be handked differently, he definitely should have gone to that baby shower! He has a relationship outside of his wife with his children and I personally would’ve advised him to go even without me, you can’t get those moments back just sad!

  4. I’m so over grown married people making single decisions, but wanting to be married ie Lateisha and Glenn. The thing I’m most concerned about is JJ, not being there for his daughters. He was such a supportive dad in the past and for him to not be there for them now because of his present and ex wives controversy going on. The girls are blaming Sophia, when she can’t stop him from doing anything he wants to do or not. Girls put the blame on your dad, it’s home this time no her.
    Now as far as the Collective, Marie is a bully and Latrice likes to start sh-t, they’re too damn old to be acting like teenagers, grow the he’ll up and act like the grown women y’all suppose to be

  5. This show needs to have mere accountability as these successful professional women act like a group of idiots. And, they are well educated, seemingly. Why not show other women how to be successful business women with class. I can’t believe they act like a bunch of foolish teenagers which is s disgrace. Marie acts like she is not at fault for throwing trash and while she is highly successful, you would never guess. It makes me sad to see this show and women of color portraying this type of activity. So picky with no integrity or character traits. Believe me it is not very popular with many women. If it was my show, it would include the Dentist, can’t remember her name, Tamara, Selena and maybe Glen’s wife. I would never have Sogushi or her husband even though I do like her house but beyond that. Goodbye. The L with the hair salon, she needs great deal of mentoring. This group could maybe provide an interesting show but this current model is not going to survive.
